I've posted 4 other leather projects and I thought I would share the results of another project with you all. A member here sent me an image and asked me to tool and build him a pouch for his brake lock. Here's the finished deal.

Looks great, Chris!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

"OBTUSE"?! Whaddaya MEAN "obtuse" here, Wade?

Have you been messin' with those triangles that have an angle of over 90 degrees AGAIN???

Didn't I TELL YA that that could make a guy go BLIND?!!!

(...say, maybe THAT'S why you can't quite make out Chris' beautiful handiwork here, dude!)

What dis thang is here is a carrying case for a front brake disc lock. It would hold something like this:
It's 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. That made it difficult to tool the image being it's so small.

Yeah Wade, actually without some other reference in those pix, it is kind'a hard to grasp the size of the pouch, isn't it?!

Ya know, I was thinkin' that somethin' just like that but bigger would make for a very cool travel bag that one could strap down and put right behind 'em on their bike!
